DO SOMETHING
Credits to : Sri Lanka Red Cross
HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU WITNESS THINGS THAT ARE OCCURRING IN THE WORLD THAT DISTURBS YOU AND YOU SAY TO YOURSELF, I WISH I COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. MOST OFTEN, IT WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO OPEN OR START A NON- PROFIT ORGANIZATION OR RAISE TONS OF MONEY. THE WORLD IS A GLOBAL COMMUNITY. I SUGGEST THAT YOU DON'T THROW UP YOUR HANDS AND ASSUME THAT YOU CAN NOT MAKE A CHANGE. YOU HAVE IT WITHIN YOUR ABILITY AND POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS:
1. ORGANIZE NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS TO PICK UP TRASH ALONG THE STREETS, STREAMS, LAKES AND OCEAN.
2. GIVE SOMEONE A CLEAN FRESH GLASS OR CUP OF WATER TO SOMEONE WHO MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER.
3. START A COMPOSE PILE AND CREATE A COMMUNITY GARDEN.
4. DESIGNATE A LOCATION AND ESTABLISH A FARMERS' MARKET.
5. COLLECT CLOTHES FROM AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND DISTRIBUTE THEM TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT CLOTHES.
6. START A FOOD BANK BY GOING TO GROCERY STORES, BAKERIES AND FARMS AND ORGANIZED THE DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD AND FEED THE HUNGRY. IT IS A GREAT AND COMPASSIONATE ENDEAVOR TO FEED PEOPLE. IT SHOWS MERCY AND KINDNESS.
7. GIVE AWAY YOUR OLD BOOKS TO SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY.
YOU SEE, YOU CAN AND DO HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE A CHANGE. IT DEPENDS SOLELY ON YOUR COMMITMENT TO DO SOMETHING. MAY YOU BE BLESS.
